Chapter 13 – Sierra

These past few days had been full of bliss—just joy and happiness. Zoya’s stay with us had its benefits; she’d helped me see a side of Artem that was surprisingly cool. I wished that she could stay longer, but sadly, she couldn’t; her parents had returned from their trip.

I’d grown fond of this smart four-year-old with a sharp mouth and a brilliant mind. Zoya was more mature than I was when I was her age, and that, amongst the numerous other qualities she possessed, was the reason I connected with her.

She was an amazing little girl with a beautiful soul, lovable with a kind heart, and had an adorable pair of blue eyes. Having her around made me wish for a second that I was her mother. I’d always loved kids, and now, being Zoya’s babysitter had opened my eyes to the concept of motherhood. I’d realized that in the not-so-distant future, I would become a Mom myself.

Shit.

As great as that should seem, it scared the living daylights out of me. I didn’t think that I was ready to be a mother just yet.

I shook my head, brushing off the thoughts that were gradually creeping in before they could settle in my mind. I was dealing with a lot already, and the last thing I needed was another depressing possibility weighing me down.

“Pass me the salt, please,” Frank said to Zoya.

His words drew my attention back to the dinner table, where my husband and I were seated side by side. Across from us, Kara and her husband sat beside each other with their little girl close by. The air was filled with the delicious aroma of roasted chicken and the sweetness of caramelized onions. The table was set with truffle mac and cheese, filet mignon, and roasted vegetables.

Zoya passed him the salt. “Here you go, Dad.”

“Thanks, sweetheart.” He smiled at her.

Kara lifted her crystal glass, half filled with wine, to her lips, and her body trembled. It was subtle, but I observed the movement. Her husband’s palm was caressing her thigh underneath the table, and she was struggling not to expose him. With the faint smile on her face, I knew she was enjoying it. The fact that I was a woman, as well, meant I could recognize the expression of pleasure when I saw one, however discreet. Kara did her best to hide it, and her husband kept a straight face like his hand wasn’t doing anything. This was inappropriate, considering there was a child at the table, but fuck it; it was spontaneous. Besides, the child had no idea what was happening.

I looked away so they wouldn’t notice that I was aware of the happenings underground, and my husband caught my eye. For a fleeting moment, he flashed a smile at me as though he’d noticed the couple as well. I wasn’t sure that was the case since he didn’t say anything, but I was glad to see him smile.

“So, Frank,” Artem started, “what’s the update on that new deal you struck with the Langleys?”

“Ohh, uh….
